LIVE "All In The Family" and "The Jeffersons" Episodes with All-Star Cast
April 22, 2019
Critics have said these two sitcoms were too tied to the '70s to be rebooted. Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear disagree and have pulled together an all-star cast to make it happen LIVE on May 22nd on ABC--
Here's the cast they've put together so far:
Woody Harrelson as Archie Bunker
Jamie Foxx as George Jefferson
Wanda Sykes as Louise Jefferson
Justina Machado as Florence Johnston
Seriously? I've gotta watch. Yes, I remember almost every episode of both shows from the '70s. And I'm probably best aligned with the group who thinks the shows can't be updated.
But then I see what the man who created them says and I'm thinking... maybe this could work. At least for one night.
Woody Harrelson, Marisa Tomei, Wanda Sykes and Jamie Foxx will reenact classic episodes of 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons' for Kimmel's live sitcom special https://t.co/nwtSGZXgc1
